Before smoking was banned in the office, non-smokers had to put up with the stench and irritation of the smoker's bad habit. It is amazing how one lambasts the typical "government" worker but if he is a smoker he is defended.

And golly gee......I had to put up with the STENCH FROM A 300 LB MAN. So what's the difference.

You say that he didn't "hurt me with his fat?" I say: well, maybe not, but the stence from his fat sweaty body sure ruined MY day! And wearing a FACE mask was out of the question, since I was a Travel Agent working with PEOPLE!

No difference. You should not have to put up with the stench. Now go home and increase your risk of cancer.
